Custom apps and AI that run your floor.

Get my free auditFree, 30 minutes, no pitch deck. You keep the findings either way.

When off-the-shelf software cannot do what you need, we build it. Inventory systems, dispatch boards, client portals, AI agents that answer the phone, automations that retire the tasks your team hates. Real software, with the custom code assigned to you on full payment.

React and TypeScript on a managed cloud platform for the web layer. Enterprise AI models with structured tool use for the AI layer. PostgreSQL for the data layer. Edge functions for the API layer. The custom code we write for you is assigned to you on full payment.

Agents for chat, qualification, and scheduling

How this work gets scored

Graded by published rules, not by us.

WebKing has worked with Houston businesses for 27 years. The scores that decide whether this work pays off still come from outside: these are the rules that grade it, what each one requires, and where each one is published.

Whether every visitor can use the site

WCAG 2.2

The accessibility standard plaintiffs and courts cite in ADA website lawsuits. Among its rules, body text needs a 4.5:1 contrast ratio against its background, and anything a finger taps needs at least 24 by 24 pixels of room.

The W3C standard

Whether pages load before people leave

Core Web Vitals

Google's speed standard, read from real visits over the previous 28 days rather than a lab test. A page passes when at least 75% of visits see the main content within 2.5 seconds, get a response to a tap within 200 milliseconds, and keep layout shift at 0.1 or less.

Google's thresholds

What you actually get

Outcomes, in plain English.

01

Software that fits your business, not the other way around.

Off-the-shelf SaaS forces you to change your process to fit the tool. Custom software molds to how your team actually works. Fewer workarounds, fewer "we just live with that".

02

AI agents that answer the phone, the inbox, the chat.

AI agents that handle qualification, scheduling, FAQ, and lead routing. A handoff to a human is built in for the conversations that need one.

03

Client portals that ship trust.

Custom portals where your clients see their project status, deliverables, invoices, and communication history. Branded, secure, and available across devices.

04

Automations that retire repetitive work.

Lead routing, invoice generation, reporting, data cleanup, content distribution, cross-platform posting. Stop paying people to do work software does in milliseconds.

05

Dashboards that show what is actually happening.

Real-time visibility into the metrics that drive your business. Not Looker Studio templates. Custom dashboards built on the data you actually need to see, refreshed live.

06

You own the custom code we write for you.

Under the WebKing terms, the final custom code written for you is assigned to you on full payment of the engagement.

How we work

Custom Apps, the WebKing way.

  1. 01

    Scoping call

    We listen to the problem in plain English, then play it back as a feature list, a data model, and a phased build plan. The scope, cost, and timeline are set in writing before work starts.

  2. 02

    Working prototype first

    We build the smallest version that proves the concept first. You touch it, you test it, you tell us what is wrong. Then we build the rest with confidence.

  3. 03

    Iterative production build

    Releases on a real staging URL, you test, we fix and ship. You see progress along the way, not months later at the big reveal. The release rhythm is set with you before work starts.

  4. 04

    AI layer (when it fits)

    If the app needs an AI agent, we wire up an enterprise AI model with structured tool use, system prompts you can edit, and audit logs of the conversations. Real engineering, not "let us just call ChatGPT in a loop".

  5. 05

    Launch + handoff

    Production deploy, monitoring, and error tracking. The finished custom code is handed over to you on full payment, per the terms.

  6. 06

    Care plan (optional)

    Optional ongoing support for development, bug fixes, AI agent tuning, and infrastructure monitoring, agreed in writing. Or take it from here, your choice.

Common questions

Answered straight.

Every answer ends with how to take the next step. Tap any question, get the answer + a way to start.

The timeline depends on how many roles the app has, how many systems it connects to, and whether it includes an AI layer. WebKing maps the timeline with you in writing before work starts. Free 30-minute scoping call at (832) 830-6474, Houston-based, serving clients nationwide.
